A Different Way
For many years would pass me by, while you poisoned my mind and kept me high.
At first i played hard to get, I had other drugs to help forget.
The first time I tried you the burn felt so good, in some sick way the pain understood.
I'd rather feel something then nothing at all, until the comedown and then the withdrawal.
I needed you and you needed me, at least that's what the devil kept whispering to me.
You kept me awake made my mind think swiftly, but felt it's to late it all happened so quickly.
Its over now habit i'm happy to say, I am a better father and partner i'll keep it this way.
